I am a freelance photographer in ohio. I have been a dci marcher and now a dca marcher. i have wanted to take photos for both dci and dca for years. i sent an email to jolesch about me taking photos in ohio and they said that they were full and that they didn't need any extra help. but i didn't get a response for over a month from them and the email i finally received was very vague and kind of rude. i also agree with everyone's statements. being a fellow marcher, i understand that each person should have their photo taken at least once or twice a season by themselves during the show. and i hate the way that they deal with orders and printing. i hate the way that they make photographers like me feel like we are nothing basically. they treat us as if they are superior and that they run the show and we are allowed to have no say so at all. i would love to take over the ohio shows and i have been in contact with other photographers around the country who would also love to take over and let jolesch go of their duties. in addition, i did find out that sometimes, they don't even photograph at some of the shows that we perform at. they take photos for the priority shows or where the most popular corps are performing and then they leave the not so big shows out and neglect to even hire a photographer like me who would probably be at the show anyways. i really wish that dci and dca would both step and realize that the customer satisfaction is not so great and fire jolesch. i personally, would love to take over or even join with someone else and just photograph the local shows which i usually go and watch anyways. but until dca or dci tell jolesch to leave, we aren't going to have any control over what they do or how they treat us. so is it a time for change?
